And 5 of the top 6 teams in 5a. So it's easier to qualify in 5a, but harder to win. One class is always going to have something on another. You can pick the numbers any way you wish.

If your focus is on being a state qualifier, then 5a needs adjusted if the intent of the state series is to crown the state champ and placers, then 5a is as hard if not harder than any.

What is boils down to is some kids in 5a and 6a get to say their state qualifiers, when some kids in 4a do not, but after the first round it's all the same and there is tough kids every where.
